Blog War I: Perez vs. Gawker

It's like Jay-Z vs. R. Kelly for bloggers, except way more sad and pathetic. The whole thing is a retarded mess, but I'll sum it up for you:

Perez Hilton is a very famous celebrity gossip blogger. You may have noticed I have a link to his page, and I sometimes post stuff from his blog. He's also got an enormous head (the figurative interpretation being more important here) and is kind of a sell out. Lots of PR people and celebrities read his blog an kiss his ass so he won't talk shit about them. He gets invited to Hollywood parties and gets to meet famous people. He is a shameless self-promoter and is definitely biased in favor of celebs who pretend to be friends with him.

All that said, he's got (I believe) the biggest celebrity blog readership and he gets really good exclusives. He also gets into it with PR people and lawyers who rep celebs on a regular basis, because, well he's a blogger and the truth is unessential in our world.

Gawker is a media blog that sees itself as being a different class of blogger. To be fair, it pretty much is, but yesterday it posted this email exchange between Perez and some PR guy, which I assume is supposed too illustrate that Perez is dumb, unscrupulous, and not very good with grammar. It was pretty funny. Today Perez retaliated with this. This is how beef gets started. This is why there are shoot outs at rap videos. This is why Biggie is dead. Let's learn from history.

P.S. I think it's important to read the comments. It's like a playground war!
